This is the ADV Music U.S.release of the soundtrack to the first of the latest Mothra movies known in the US as "The
Rebirth Of Mothra". These movies are geared more towards children than kaiju loving adults but I still enjoyed the movie.

The music here is great and in my opinion surpasses the movie it's for. We no longer have twin fairies but instead
have fairy sisters known as the Elias. Most of this score features grand, really upbeat action music and marches.
Track # 5 is a very new, upbeat version of the original Mothra song sung by the Elias. Track # 9 gives us a new
more mellow tribute song to Mothra also sung by the girls. There is also a nice, romantic sounding recurring Mothra
theme sprinkled throughout the CD.

While this CD won't make you forget the Akira Ifukube originals, Toshiyuki Watanabe has done a really nice
job of scoring this movie and giving us a very listenable CD that holds up well as a stand-alone piece. Also ADV Music
has done a very nice job with this U.S. release. If you don't have or can't get the original Japanese disc, then this is
a great and affordable alternative.
